Persons and organizations wishing to communicate with faculty and students in public schools about commercial businesses, fund-raising opportunities, or community events are asked to follow specific guidelines required by the St. Tammany Parish School Board. The requirements involve the distribution of information about scholarships, camps, clinics, business services, conferences, jobs, fundraisers, organization memberships, recreational opportunities outside of school, etc.
A Letter of Introduction Application needs to be filled out and submitted to the School System Central Office for consideration of any such requests. Applications must be renewed annually, with one completed application packet for all events in one school year.
The Letter of Introduction must be renewed every school year. If you would like more than one event approved during a school year, an application must be submitted per event.
The School System does not promote one business over another.
Permission may be revoked by the Superintendent or his designee at any time.
If seeking approval for a fundraiser, please review the attached Fundraising Guidelines to determine if you qualify.
There cannot be a “buy one get something free” stipulation within the offer.
Flyers cannot contain sponsor names or inappropriate language/pictures adversely affecting the School System.
If direct contact with students is sought, there may be a requirement of fingerprinting with the STPSB for all employees of the applicant agency/ business/organization actually entering the schools. The cost of fingerprinting is $85 for each agency employee and is paid by the agency. If required, payment must be made payable to the St. Tammany Parish School Board in the form of a money order, cashier’s check or certified check. The agency request will then be reviewed once the fingerprinting is complete which may take up to 3 weeks for clearance. A clearance determination will be made followed by an acknowledgement phone call or letter.
